The X Factor USA to add LeAnn Rimes to judging panel?

There has been a lot of talk about the two empty seats on the judging panel of The X Factor USA since it was revealed that Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul would not be returning for the second season. Many names have been linked to the vacant roles as The X Factor USA judges and it has already been confirmed that Fox will replace the two outgoing women with two incoming women.

The latest person to have been mentioned as a possible judge on season two of The X Factor USA is LeAnn Rimes, who is reportedly very interested in the idea. It is claimed that LeAnn recently met up with The X Factor USA co-producer FremantleMedia North America, to discuss the terms of her joining the reality singing competition.

However, there has been talk of many people before Leann Rimes and none have yet to be confirmed. Some of the names mentioned so far include Mariah Carey, Katy Perry and most recently Britney Spears was said to be interested in joining The X Factor USA for season two. So far though, nobody has been confirmed, so we will just have to wait and see.
